The Classic Coach Gun
The side-by-side double-barreled shotgun was the single most economical and effective arm for hunting and defense in the Old West. Thousands of these sidehammer scatterguns served settlers, miners, ranchers, and lawmen who understood their value. Express companies armed their messengers with them, knowing that scattered shot had a greater chance of dissuading threats than a single rifle or pistol round.
